Stand up for the - old and new - CHAMPIONS!

It was incredibly tight (only 3 points, which Fietscherings*** would have got, had they not missed one quiz...) till the very end but DAQ**** DID IT.
An unprecedented 4th (3rd consecutive) title. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Also - the bestestest quiz, fun and atmosphere-wise, in a long time. THANKS quiz family :D
More here after the WE.
























Coming up next week - big 80s quiz/party. Go raid your wardrobes or Humana :D
Prediction of the week for WQ133

Finaaaale, o-ho, Finaaaale, o-ho-ho-ho... Champions League Season 10 - the end is nigh

Just a quick heads-up and caveat.

Tomorrow (3 April) we play the Champions League Season 10 final. AKA Beat the DAQs. We still have 6 tables so if you want in - book one. (We CANNOT reserve a table for single persons who just want to 'observe' ... you could just come in though and join one of the teams, there are always those who are willing to 'adopt' / looking for fresh brains ;)



And just so's we don't all get annoyed on Thursday - if you 'only' want to party and have fun and talk with your mates, THIS particular quiz is not for you. Champions League finale means we need a certain measure of concentration, and thus quietness. Those who disturb will be - very politely - asked to leave ;)
If it's entertainment & party you're looking for - the following two quizzes are all about having fun...

Roaring 20s, Red Round, Rowdiness, & #RenewHelix - WQ #131

What a night! Slightly louder and unrulier than I would have preferred, and was good for us, but we made it through it in one piece :D
Only 1 round in CLS10 left... Fietscherings gained a bit but will it be enough to maybe beat DAQ on the finishing line? Join us next week for the Season 10 finale and find out.. (don't forget to book your table )
Congrats to Pünktchen & Arno for a smashing 5th (and thanks again for the Yogi round ) .. thanks to Mariapachosas (neat, eh?) for the love, and thanks to all regulars for the patience. There will be quiet ones again :D
Brainless have Yogi for the CL finale (if you don't send anything, nay probs - I still have some 12 or so of your previous suggestions )
Don't forget Prediction of the Week - Southampton - Newcastle, Saturday 4pm (Fietscherings went for a fence-sitting 1-1, Quiz(z)icals reckon 2-1 for Saints and Pünktchen &Arno predict a 1-0 defeat for Newcastle - can't say I blame them ;))..
Have a good warm weekend y'all - I look forward to next Thursday already (almost as much as to the ‪#‎Helix‬ finale tonight.. BTW - thx for playing along. We actually made it happend - #HelixRenewed this afternoon ;)

Miss Ireland, Mah Nà Mah Nà, and the Man with the golden Gun - Ye Wilde Paddy's Day Party (quiz)

What a lovely night of great green fun, and mystery drinks, and mingling. We should - and will - do that more often :D (do send your ideas or 'requests'.. :D)

For now just basic points & new book, no computer 'work' for a while as per doctor's orders. I will try to post a few of last night's pics that don't need processing/editing later - you have to see some of those faces during the pitcher round :D
Next week all back to 'normal' we still have 5 tables. Matryoshka have Yogi but no reservation yet so I don't know if they're coming at all. If I don't hear anything from them by Sunday 9pm - I CHOOSE all 3 :P (sorry Brainless, once in a while..)

Prediction of the week - Fulham - Newcastle. Tomorrow (Sat) 4pm. Send your predictions for score/result :D

That's all she wrote for this week - have a good one, see you next Thursday (or on Paddy's (Sun)Day...

Almost forgot - prediction of the week. Toon had a weekend off, so we concentrate on the Champions League. For 2 points - predict the number of goals scored in the 2 Champions League games on Wednesday (PSG-Leverkusen & Barcelona-ManCity) and the team who scores the first one.
Send me your predictions by Wednesday 8.45pm.

Graces victory sure has made things a bit more interesting in the CL (last week second, this week first - what's the plan for next Thursday?), and with only 3 games left in season 10, suspense is killing me ;)
